Margot Bonnaire

Margot Bonnaire was a French Resistance leader during World War II.

Biography
Margot Bonnaire was born in Paris, France, and she worked as an art restorer at the Louvre before World War II broke out. Bonnaire was horrified when the Nazis plundered France's national treasures and defiled their cultural heritage as a part of their anti-intellectual campaigns during the German occupation of France, driving the elderly Bonnaire to join the French Resistance. In 1940, she came into contact with Resistance leader Sean Devlin, whom she recruited to rescue her soldier Yosef Bryman from German captivity. She later sent him to assassinate General Heinrich Loder during a book-burning, and her final task for him was to destroy the German radio transmitter at the Louvre so that the people of Paris would no longer have to listen to German propaganda messages. Her last contact with Devlin was during a meeting with Duval Mingle and Luc Gaudin in the Latin Quarter, and she escaped the ensuing German ambush before going into hiding once more.
